    Dear Jake, I know you know a lot of stuff, and this has been stumping me for quite some time, so if you could help me out I will greatly appreciate it. Please explain the attached souvenir magnet: Why might we see a begging, or […]

    It isn’t a typo. I have been outside to verify. It really does feel that nice. Today is officially the first day of shorts weather (for me, anyway). 🙂

    Andrea’s Muppet post actually reminded me of this post, which I started drafting last weekend, then forgot about. The photo is from last Friday. Reagan wore these shoes to hike around Harlem in the Rain. She calls them her  Miss Piggy shoes. I’m trying to get her to trade up to a pair of  these.

    I will never get sick of watching sunsets over the harbor. So I apologize if anyone reading this, gets tired of the photos.

    Earlier this week, I came across this quote by John Adams, in the book I’m currenty reading. It was taken from one of his writings contemplating the post British rule, state of the Colonies. He wrote: We may please ourselves with the prospect of free and popular governments. But there is a great danger that…

    This sign is the product of WTC construction on Vessey Street. Until I saw it, I was completely unaware that there were longboarders in FiDi. Notice the Sector 9 sticker in the bottom right hand corner. Nice. Maybe I can meet up with them some day after work and bomb the boardwalk, hahahaha.

    I mean, I love the idea of having it get dark, later. But then, the idea of having to get up an hour earlier, is enough to make me shudder. I have a tough enough time getting out of bed, as it is. It is getting to the point, that it is actually light outside…

    I thought that this pic was great. According to Animal, it is a decal on the floor of an Indonesian shopping center. I like Copyranter’s commentary regarding the likely back-story, of this ad. Some absinthe-drinking philosopher somewhere (probably France), sometime once said something like, “maybe the universe is a big dog, and we’re all just…

    I entered Reagan and myself in the lottery today for the NYC Marathon. Either way, we plan on running it next year, through the NYRR program. Wouldn’t that be awesome, though, if we could do it 2 years in a row?

    Man, I could not wait to start browsing through some spring fashion ads, this year. It has been a cold and nasty winter. Anything than can take my thoughts to warmer times, is welcomed. Calvin Klein has kicked off their campaign with a bang, by retaining the services of Powder, to model their spring line.…
